    The reason why there's so many English speaking things, is because the U.S (mainland), has given the U.S citizens tax breaks to purchase land/houses/condos/etc, meanwhile the citizens of Puerto Rico, cannot afford to purchase houses/land/condos/etc., and no they don't get the same tax breaks.

    Yes, we went there as a family in June, '94. Two of my relatives from Ohio moved there for the last years of their lives, and just chilled. Had a house right by the beach. I was 19 at the time. We got to drink beers so that was great. Weather was great as well as the surf. Not a surfer and never have been. But PR in general is beautiful. Great people there as well!

Nuclear waste are buried or cover in cement to dump it in the deep ocean.

    Tostones(green fried plantains) and Maduros (ripe sweet fried plantains) to name a few.
    If you come to Puerto Rico to experience our culture, these are the foods you should be eating or trying.
    Pls, Pls don’t come to PR looking for tacos and burritos, go to Mexico for that.
    We sell tacos n burritos because that’s what ppl know as Hispanic food, and so we offer it but that is NOT PR food.
    Pls pass that on Walter.

    FYI Rincon is one of the, if not, the most gentrified areas out of all Puerto Rico. It's filled predominantly with white Americans. It's English speaking, the only place on the island were they celebrate the 4th of July. If you want to have a Puerto Rico experience with out Puerto Ricans, but instead with white Americans Rincon is the place for you!!! Literally it feels like a Mini Florida.

      I am a gringa and we aren't doing those things. We don't want special treatment- we don't own a property. Btw, hubby is Puerto Rican.

    Don’t go to Rincon and bring a Unitedstatesian attitude… the culture has changes so much since extremely entitled people from the states started coming in larger numbers. Just gross
